Patent CA-2299175-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEWMAN FREDERIC M
IPC: E21B47/09
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: A directional collar locator sensor distinguishes between an outer casing collar from an inner pipe coupling deep within a wellbore by selectively positioning a semi-spherical magnetic shield about a magnetic sensor. The collar locator has virtually no moving parts and facilitates conventional logging, perforating multiple completion wellbores, and splitting of casing collars and inner pipe couplings. When used in perforating a well casing, the directional sensor ensures that the perforating gun is pointed in the right direction to produce complete perforations as opposed to just producing dents.

Title: Methods and devices for billing teleconferences
Inventor: BALAZ JOSEPH V
IPC: H04M15/00
Filed: 2000-07-31
Abstract: A method and devices for calculating a billing total for a teleconference between a plurality of participants is disclosed. Advantageously, the teleconference may be a telephone conference call. Each of the participants is associated with an identifier of that participant's origin, such as a portion of the participant's telephone caller identification information. At least one particular identifier is used to signify that charges for a caller's participation should be attributed at a lower rate to the total. For participants associated with an identifier other than a reduced rate identifier charges are attributed to the total at a rate greater than this lower rate. A conference call service provider may use the method and system to charge reduced rates for certain participants, allowing the service provider to compete with locally located teleconference systems, for which participants would not incur long distance toll charges.

Title: Heater control for infant warmer
Inventor: FALK STEVEN M
IPC: A61G11/00
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A heater control system for use with a radiant heater of an infant warmer. The system utilizes a patient skin temperature and a set temperature inputted by a user and initially subtracts the patient temperature from the set point temperature to arrive at a differential signal identified as the Patient Temperature Gradient (PTG). That PTG is the used to directly control the power to the radiant heater by modifying the power to the heater depending upon the sign and the magnitude of the PTG. Thus, the method of the present invention is not a proportional control system but seeks and finds its own level of power that is not governed by any specific temperature difference and will adjust the heater power where the resulting heater power adjustment may be different for a variety of conditions.
